A Rat Tale

The coming of the Year of the Rat has reminded me about an old book "Who moved my cheese", which depicts a tale about rats. A pair of rats, A and B, one day found a slice of cheese big enough for them to eat for quite a long time. The next few days, they came back and took their bite. All went fine until one day, for no reason, the cheese just disappeared. Rats A and B reacted differently. Rat A broke down and cried, moaning about his misery. He kept coming back, hoping to see the cheese again, but in vain day after day. Rat B forgot about the moved cheese and go ahead to look for new food somewhere else. In the end, Rat B found another cheese while Rat A remained in his bad patch. Simple a story that it is, the book has sold millions of copies. It makes a worthy point -- don't trap yourself in the past, always look forward. Wish you have a wonderful new year.
